Abstract: One non-propelled fluid resident in a reservoir is sucked into the flow path of a further fluid in transit propelled by fluid pressure. This is achieved by means of inducing a spiral cyclone path flow pattern in the propelled fluid to create a converging vortex with a turbulent mixing zone into a linear output transit line. The pressure at the vortex zone is reduced significantly from atmospheric to thereby produce a strong suction propellant force bringing the stored fluid into the turbulence mixing zone. The stored fluid is introduced axially in line with the cyclone axis and linear output transit line which receives thoroughly mixed fluids in substantially constant proportions over significant changes in pressure of the propelled fluid. Thus, the mixer device is ideal for dispensing insectides with a garden hose, detergents into a dishwasher, chlorine into a swimming pool, etc.
